> In today’s episode we’re talking about an emerging model of gaming called play to earn, in which players can make actual money based on how much time and effort they put into a game.
> Think of it as Pokemon on the blockchain, with a social network built-in, and an actual economy, and even companies built around the game that help players onboard and loan them money to get started playing. The game has made more than $3 billion in total sales since launching in March 2018, with much of its early growth in the Philippines.
So play to earn is really borrow money to play in the hopes that you might be able to earn.
And just for fun, let's target poor people in developing countries. "web3" sure sounds lovely.
It's sad that the potential of the internet is only eclipsed by the moral depravity of the investor class that exercises so much influence over its evolution.
